Editorial Feedback

"No to Detroit" was the best editorial I have ever read. It is complete, to the point and exactly what I feel most people are thinking. Thank you.

Editor: Most, perhaps. But not all. See the next item.

YES TO DETROIT

I was a little miffed when I saw the bold editorial headline "No to Detroit" and my first thought was, "He probably drives a Honda or Toyota." I grew up in the Detroit area, so I know what's like when our automotive industry falls on hard times. It's about time that this country starts supporting and investing in its automotive industry like other countries do and stop leaving Detroit to go it alone. And for those of you who continue to drive nothing but foreign cars, shame on you.

Editor: The Editorial Board is multinational when it comes to the cars we drive. But with "foreign" carmakers running plants in this country, "buying American" doesn't necessarily mean buying from the Big 3. Then again, the Big 3 are multinational, too. The question is not nationality, but rationality. Is bailing out the Big 3 good policy, or just a bridge loan to a later business disaster?
